Since I don't have time for a "JParanoia Session", and I certaintly can't hope for somebody else to playtest, I'm going to be playtesting the Anarchist Complex setting with a default PARANOIA mission. You have all received 'suggestions' by your Gang leaders to join up with an ad-hoc commission that plans some very fun terrorist attacks.

(EDIT: Since this is a playtest, I would really like experienced people to partake in this, although newbies will also be accepted.)

Meta-Rules:
1) You are allowed to generate your own characters, but if you don't want to, I'll use the random character generator to make one for you. Please use PXP rules when generating your character. You will receive some "Perversity Points" if you use any additional PARANOIA supplements (such as "Criminal Histories"). You must make three different rolls for Secret Societies and Mutations.
2) You are all traitors who dropped out of the system, for whatever reason. 'Offically' you are all RED Troubleshooters, and in Anarachist Complex, you are all "Worms". Clearance is meaningless in Anarachist Complex, but this knowledge will help you in both generating characters as well as in any dealings you have with Alpha Complex. You also start with 1,000 Credits, to be used at the IR Market, and 25 Perversity Points. You do not gain more Perversity Point for every tic you get. You will receive Peversity Points if you write a backstory explaining your character.
3) You start with 1 Status, but can buy more Status at the rate of 5 Perversity per additional Status point, to a max of 4 Status. So 5 for 2 Status, 10 for 3 Status, 15 for 4 Status. This option is only available now.
4) All dicerolling will be done by the GM.
5) Private conservations is allowed, but send me a copy of all messages. You may think you're alone, but you may actually be not.
6) Your Perversity Point total will be constantly available to all, as will your expenditures and gains. However, which way you're using them won't be. For example, if during a firefight, John-R-DOE says to me "I'll use 5 perversity points to increase my shot and 5 to decrease Jane-R-DOE's shot", you'll see he spent 5 on him and 5 on Jane, but won't know for sure which way. Speaking of firefights...
7) When it becomes clear that a combat is about to break out, the Turn posting will indicate this. Your PM to me will give me general guidance for how you want your role in the combat to go (including Perversity points expenditures). I will run the combat myself, using your PMs as guidance, until something significant happens ("significant" being defined by me as something I think you would want to respond to). At that point, I'll post another Turn, and if we're still in combat, we'll repeat the process.

Main Rules:
1) Death Leopard view life as cheap. In Anarchist Complex, doubly so. However, many Death Leopard does view "fame" as an overarching goal to aim for, and so will seek to peserve that fame whenever possible. You may purchase a "Successor" for 1 Status point. After you die, your Successor will inherit all the fame, glory, items, blame for previous treasons, secret society connections, etc. However, your Successor will not inherit all your Status (as some clones will contest the 'succession', or even claim to be the legit 'successor'). Instead, Status will be reduced by the following amount, based on your previous Rank.
-1 Status: Worm
-5 Status: Gang Lieutenant
-15 Status: Gang Leader
-25 Status: Superstar
-55 Status: Celeberity

(I am not comfortable with this rule for now, so I need to think about it for a bit.)

2) Rules for gaining Status via Terrorist Attacks are...well, it's hard to say, really. Lots of rumors floating around.
3) Rank is determined by Status. The more Status you have, the higher your rank:
-"Worm", new canon fooder who usually "volunteer" to join up with a Gang, and help that Gang run its small portion of Anarachist Complex. Usually the first who are 'encouraged' to join up Ad-Hoc Commissions:
0 Status Points
-Gang Lieutenant, in charge of carrying out the will of the Gang Leader and running the Gang while the Gang Leader is "on vacation":
10 Status Points
-Gang Leader, in charge of the Gang:
30 Stauts Points
-Superstar, pretty famous in the Anarchist Complex, usually in charge of rallying mulitple gangs and acting as the intermediaries between the Gang Leaders and the Celeberities:
50 Status Points
-Celeberity, Every Death Leopard admires these famous people. They're the spoiled ULTRAVIOLETs of Anarchist Complex.:
110 Status Points
5) Metal Points are similar to Power Levels and Access. Metal Points represent how effective you are in upholding Death Leopard's idea of fun, violence, and mayhem. Alternatively, it showcase how your insane you are. Either way, they may be effective in boosting your combat skills, and by extension, your survival.
